It’s safe to say, the nature of applications has fundamentally changed. In the past, apps never left the data center. Now, they are widely distributed across several virtual servers, containers, and physical servers.
As a result of this, traditional perimeter security strategies are now ineffective. Why? Because apps and data need security that follows them everywhere.
In essence, yesterday’s security methods and technologies are no longer adequate. And, as new threats emerge by the minute, the task of keeping apps secure becomes even harder. If IT teams fail to bridge these common security gaps, attackers will exploit them. IT teams across industries must take a modern approach to securing their application infrastructure – starting today.
But not every security solution is created equal. A robust secure application infrastructure should architect security controls directly into the networks and endpoints where applications live. Rather than being bolted on, security should be built in, to enable protection that follows apps wherever they go.
An example of this is VMware NSX Data Center. Its Service-Defined Firewall, delivered via NSX and AppDefense, shrinks the application attack surface while providing consistent security – from data center, to cloud, to edge. It provides the tools IT teams need to reduce security risks and complexity.

Introduction We have digital native start-ups; we have enterprises. In the last few years, the narrative has been one of the former disrupting the latter. According to a new report from IDC, that’s all about to change. The next disruptor is not going to be another start-up, but what the analyst calls the digital-native enterprise. […]
Ten years ago, the most common form of engagement we had with utilities companies was either the monthly bill or calling to report a fault. Neither promised to be particularly pleasant. With the advent of smart home apps, and the remote control of thermostats, lights and security cameras, that engagement has been transformed. And there […]
Everywhere we look, organisations are touting their ability to innovate, to generate cutting edge ideas, to change the game. They’re doing it to stay ahead of the competition which, thanks to digitisation, has changed beyond all recognition. However, if everyone is innovating, is anyone doing anything new? In other words, in the rush to innovate, […]
